Malachi Lewis, Simi Fili, Drew Davis...

I know... It's crazy to think about college football on Feb. 8.
I can't help myself!
My BELOVED OREGON DUCKS have signed what might be their BEST RECRUITING CLASS in history!
After gaining commitments from players such as Malachi Lewis (linebacker, Oxnard, Calif.), Simi Fili (defensive tackle, Salt Lake City), Drew Davis (wide receiver, Denver), Todd Doxey (safety, San Diego) and Anthony Gildon (cornerback, Westlake Village, Calif.), Oregon's recruiting efforts have been ranked as high as EIGHTH in the nation.
Scout.com gave the Ducks that high ranking. Rivals.com thought the Ducks did well, too, ranking Oregon 11th in the nation.
After a disappointing season (four straight losses to end the campaign, including a 38-8 bowl loss to BYU), the Ducks needed all the recruiting help they could get on National Signing Day.
Hopefully, some of these players live up to their billing.
Oh yeah... one of Oregon's recruits, linebacker John Laidet, comes from little Bonanza, Ore. (population: 415). The Ducks historically have some small-town local boys on the roster. It's one of the reasons the team is so BELOVED.
